STUDY DIARIES: I Am So NOT Used To This.

-

I am... really not used to this.

    Hey, everyone. I guess there should be a reason why I am posting at such an ungodly hour as this. I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while now, and I never really had the initiative to. Nonetheless, here it is! 

    "Juli's Study Diaries", ba dum tss.

    So, what is the significance of the study? Just kidding. I will mostly just talk about my experience of studying, especially right now that this COVID-19 crisis is still ongoing. Sometimes I cannot believe this has been going on for as long as it is, but then again I think of how some people wear their face shields like crowns, and I am no longer surprised.

    Seriously, guys. Please wear your masks and face shields properly. Wash your hands. If you can, please STAY AT HOME!

    Anyways, that was today's public service announcement. Now, moving on to our main topic.

    I am really not used to this whole online studying thing! Staring at a monitor for like, sixteen hours is not really the healthiest thing for our eyes, but what can we do? No choice, huh. Well, we are all trying to make it work, and I am so so so so grateful for the people around me, as we help each other out during these trying times.

    I mean, I have been reading and writing and editing creative pictures for days with no end, and it looks like I will keep swimming in deadlines until the end of the semester. Seems like everything is for school these days!

    Actually, I made this blog to satisfy requirements for one of my subjects, buuuuuut I'm not one to start things and leave them unfinished. That is sooooo not me! I would like to keep this going, and I suppose I will promulgate that by writing stuff again that are not necessarily school related.

    Even though, you know, this 'series' is all about studying. AAAAAAA I WILL SHUT UP NOW!

    I have always had a love for writing, and I have been blogging since high school. Again, that was for subject requirements, but it furthered my love for writing and made it comfortable for me to talk about, well, anything and everything under the sun, to the audience of whoever comes across my blog posts.

    So, having that background of "I-made-this-for-school-requirements", I decided to document my study adventures (yes, an adventure since we ARE going to try to make studying fun) and, you know, tell you guys a bit about what goes on in my life when I am in front of my school books and papers. This will be the first (and really, really, REALLY hopefully not last!) installment of Juli's Study Diaries!

    And, as per usual, I hope I am going to continue this. After all, I do have the worst case of ningas cogon I have ever seen! For all of you who do not know what that means, "ningas cogon" is a term in my language which basically means starting off on anything very enthusiastically, but later on getting burned out and eventually losing interest in the activity. This happens to me ohhhhh soooo often, so I have to cross my fingers that this will not be the case again. I do truly enjoy this, you know!

    Speaking of ningas cogon, please comment down below and tell me of your encounters with it!

    Well then, let us keep things moving forward. Study diary out, journaling onward!

I Am Finally Fluent in Hiligaynon!

          So, ever since my last attempt at blogging, I have been pondering on what to do for my next one. Sometimes, I wish I had a good working camera because spilling my thoughts out would be much easier if I could actually talk and talk in some videos of my own. For now, though, this will not be feasible, so I will have to stick with writing blogs.           Not that I oppose it or anything. I love to write, and I would rather do this than most other things, if I’ll have to be quite honest.           Thinking of what to do and what to write about was my biggest dilemma for the past few days. I mean, what am I going to write? I had ideas for a movie review, a book review, this and that, but I had to research a lot about how to do these first, not to mention the research I would also have to do, about the media material in question. My main goal for now was to get something out, and soon. I had ...

IT is an Option! -- my foray into careers

     Hello, everyone!  My gosh, it has been a hectic couple of months, but here I am again! I swear I will pick this up during our semestral break -- just as soon as I complete everything in store for me at the moment. Anyways, moving on. Today's topic is careers in IT, and.... honestly, I do not know what exactly to say, because I have never actually considered an IT career. cue boos for Juli :(( So, what can be considered as an IT career? It is certainly not just the typical computer fixer, or the keyboard-savvy programmer, or the super cool developer you see on TV. According to ITology, anyone can start an IT career, regardless of skill or experience. One basically just has to have the passion for it! There are even sales representatives in IT, and that is considered an actual IT career. If you did not know that beforehand, well, now you know. Seriously. Google works wonders for the brain. If I were to consider an IT career, I would most likely pursue graphic...

After a Trillion Years, I Am Starting My Blog Again...

  (This is not even a recent photo, think: three months ago.)           I will be quite honest, it also took me a trillion years to come up with this title.  As it suggests, yes! After a trillion, maybe a gazillion years, I am finally reopening my blog.            I know that I write this a lot . In fact, I have probably written and posted "I am starting my blog again!" about five times over in my life now, across three different blogs I have attempted running since 2014, starting around the time my high school Journalism teacher made regular blogging a class requirement. I know, I should have listened! By then, if I had maybe just followed the blog post regimen that he had suggested to all 45 of us in that classroom that fateful day, this would not be a problem. I probably would have written hundreds upon hundreds of blog posts by now, about anything and everything. Blogging was something I particularly enjoyed ...
